With so many amazing colors and brands from which to choose, those of us who aren't loyal to any one lipstick might be shocked to learn that certain lipsticks are all the rage among lots of women in the country, who flock to Sephora to stock up on them. We spoke with Artemis Patrick, Senior Vice President of Merchandising for Sephora, who gave us the goods on nine of the best-selling lipsticks at the store and why they appeal to a variety of shoppers.
1. Kat Von D Beauty Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Lolita
"This cult favorite brown/nude was driven by Kat's social media following. It’s a shade we can barely keep in stock," says Patrick.
